Corbyn's pitch for power
Britain's opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will use a keynote conference speech Wednesday to present himself as the man to lead Britain but faces a daunting task uniting his rebellious MPs over the divisive Brexit question.
The veteran leftist is expected to dodge direct commitments on the toxic issue, and instead advance a radical domestic agenda built around themes of social justice.
He hopes it will appeal to voters who could be heading to the polls if Prime Minister Theresa May's government collapses under the pressure of Brexit before Britain is set to leave the EU in March.
Corbyn is due to use his speech in Liverpool, North West England, to promise an expansion of free childcare for poor households, saying that "driving up standards of childcare will make that vital difference for millions of our children".
